LIST: Areas affected by the transport strike or tigil-pasada on February 27, 2017

The militant transport group Pinagkaisang Samahan ng mga Tsuper at Operator Nationwide (Piston) and other transport organizations will stage another transport strike which will be done nationwide.

Commuters are urged to seek alternative means of transportation on Monday to avoid inconvenience. A similar transport strike staged earlier in February caused hundreds of passengers to be stranded, and prompted some schools to cancel classes.

The tigil-pasada or transport strike on February 27, 2017 will be a protest to the government’s plan of jeepney modernization and phase-out of public utility vehicles, 15 years and older. The areas affected will be the following areas:

Cagayan Valley

Isabela

Metro Baguio

Metro Manila

Laguna

Sorsogon

Albay

Camarines Sur

Iloilo

Aklan

Capiz

Negros Occidental

Negros Oriental

Cebu

Leyte

Cagayan de Oro and parts of Northern Mindanao

The Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) will provide free rides for commuters in Metro Manila who will be affected by the transport strike.
